Rambling Gambler chords by Alan Lomax

Key: E

D
I'm a rambler and a gambler
              G
And a long ways from home
          D
If the people don't like me
          A           D
They can leave me alone
  D
Oh, it's dark and it’s a-rainin'
          G
And the moon gives no light
      D
My pony won't travel
              A           D
On this dark road at night
  D
Go put up your pony
            G
And give him some hay
        D
Come take your seat by me
       A                D
Just as long as you stay
 D
My pony isn’t hungry
            G
No, he won't eat your hay
          D
We’re headed for Wyoming
            A              D
We’re gonna graze on the way
  D
I used to have me a pretty little sweetheart
        G
Her age was nineteen
              D
She was the flower of Belton
          A          D
And the rose of Saline
  D
But her parents were against me
        G
And now she is the same
     D
If I'm on your book, love
             A            D
Won’t you blot out my name
   D
I'm a rambler and a gambler
            G
And a long ways from home
         D
If the people don't like me
             A         D
They can leave me alone
      D
Oh, it's dark and it’s a-rainin'
          G
And the moon gives no light
        D
My pony won't travel
          A               D
On this dark road at night
